I'm curious if these people just make up some date in the future, close enough to be relevant but far enough away that most people will forget, because they know this thing will never happen and want to dip below the media radar because of our national ADD with news

Two days later, somewhere between a few hundred and a thousand demonstrators convened on downtown Washington for the "Million Vets March."

Might have to adjust your expectations a little I guess.

In October, the "Truckers Ride for the Constitution" rally, led by a hodgepodge of conservative truck drivers, was held outside Washington, with the aim of arresting House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-Calif.). Organizers expected thousands of people to attend. Thirty truckers showed up, led by a woman who believes that Obama and Osama bin Laden are the same person. ("They have same height, bone structure, hands and ears both are left handed," she noted in a YouTube comment).

Missed the mark by a mile on that one.

In 2010, Kate Vandemoer, a birther activist, announced the Usurpathon, a "Rolling 'Velvet Revolution' to Remove the Usurper, et al," from office. The plan was to bring 10,000 protestors to the Mall, Congress, and the White House to lay siege to the administration. Two people showed up.

"We have 1.8 million definite militia members coming," promises Operation American Spring spokeswoman Karen Smith. (The Anti-Defamation League pegs the number of American militia members at about 20,000.)

I have it on good authority that the Communist Chinese* are planning a sneak attack on Washington DC the same day. hopefully these nutjobs patriots all show up armed and ready for trouble because America needs them!

This is going to be another one of those things where 30 people from Chicken Neck, TN show up in the capitol, get lost and spend the next 3 hours wondering around the area texting each other, isn't it?

Oh, you do not. Just stop. Leaving aside the militia bit (because most of us are technically members of the militia), this is simply not going to happen. It's absurd.

The likelihood of 1.8 million people descending upon the capitol for this event is only slightly more likely than an army of Jennifer Lawrence skinjobs from Eridani revealing themselves the day before and farking us all to a sweet, happy death.

Oh no! I'm sure that DC police and homeland security are gearing up for this invasion.

You know, teabaggers would be a whole lot funnier if they just wouldn't allow them to vote. For example, when my mother was so far gone with dementia/Alzheimer's that she stopped recognizing people, I stopped bringing in her absentee ballots. Your relatively intelligent teabagger would be slightly below my mother at that stage.

I don't wanna be "that guy" but if the Christian god is all-knowing and all-powerful, why doesn't he do all the hard work in foisting the President from office? If God doesn't do anything, are those working "in his name" deluded, or are they sinning?

Don't tell them that! The highlight of these things is when, you know, like thirty people show up and instead of getting themselves organized or chaining themselves to a gate or chanting or waving their signs or making impassioned speeches, they spend two hours milling around the planned meeting site trying to find the main group. Eventually it dawns on them that they are the main group, but please, let them have that sad little discovery on their own. Don't spoil the surprise!

American Christians have not proven themselves worthy of his direct intervention, because they haven't fought hard enough against things like gay marriage. No, really; they seem increasingly unhinged because they're worried that the actions of their countrymen are damaging their standing in the eyes of God.

No one genuinely believes in divine omnipotence. They all imagine agency for themselves.
